PA seems to be the only place I can find a "Box of Rocks" (case of 7oz
Rolling Rock bottles) Although they don't fit the foam cooler/holder
things ... but they're so small they don't get warm either. (I usually
smuggle a few home from A'town & York shows.)
Yes I know Yuengling the pinball beer - I'll have some of those too.
Is the farmers market open Thursday?

I had no idea these were still available. Is there a location near the show that would sell them? Is beer sold in a liquor store or grocery store in Pa?

Why doesn't Ivan just get a temp liquor license for the show and make a
ton on the pour for the weekend? Its so simple, just get to know the
local city folks and kick them back some cash for the effort.

There are a handful of grocery stores that now sell beer in PA. Not
certain if they sell cases or just 6 / 12 packs.

Is a reseller similar to what MA natives call a "packi" as in package store. It would sell beer wine and spirits?

NH has state liquor stores and beer/wine sold in convenience and grocery stores

Nope,
Welcome to f'd up Pa. Beer by the case sold in beer distributors only.
Bars sell 6 packs to go(not cheap) and some pizza places also sell 6/12
packs. Wine & spirits state store only.
Bring your own in a cooler!!

Don't forget the great law we have where you can leave a bar with only
two 6 packs at a time.

Living in Wisconsin this all sounds really strange to me. Where I live
you can go to a gas station and buy any amount of beer until midnight.
